DAYCARE

We all seem to be increasingly busy these days. Demanding careers, coaching the tee ball team, helping the kids with homework, driving the kids from school to practice to lessons and finally back to home can be overwhelming. We seem to have very little time for family, friends and our beloved pets. Taking our 4 legged companions for daily walks, play sessions, and obedience classes seem to never get done.

A DOG'S LIFE believes that canine ownership should be not only fun but also enriching. Dogs teach us valuable lessons regarding friendship, loyalty and being happy with the little things. Our management team works with our staff throughout the week to supervise playgroups and activities, provide on-going employee training, and meet with our clients.

We provide you with peace of mind while our experienced Playgroup Leaders lead your dog through a structured day of dog and people socialization, exercise, play, one-on-one care, and a little rest and relaxation with personalized naptimes. Our custom indoor/outdoor daycare facilities are divided into separate play areas for small dogs, medium dogs, and large dogs. All dogs have regular access to play outdoors and can even take a dip in the pooch pool on warm days.
